Coroner's investigator John Gagliano said the man died from a single stab wound to the chest.

New Orleans police have not named a suspect or motive in the killing that was reported at approximately 2:30 a.m. from a home in the 7200 block of Bunker Hill Road. Police said the man was transported to Interim LSU Public Hospital, where he died from his wound.

A neighbor, who asked that his name be withheld, said he was awakened by repeated banging sounds from a metal front door at the home before police arrived. He said the couple that lived at the home had moved in last Saturday, and he was not aware if there were any children in the household.

Authorities ask anyone with information on the slaying to call the NOPD's Homicide Unit at 504.658.5300, or Crimestoppers at 504.822.1111.
